IPMS/USA: By Modelers... For Modelers

IPMS/USA Membership is what keeps this organization and all the events and coordination across all our regions afloat. We thank all our members for their support! If you are not already a member, think about becoming one this year. 5/5

IPMS/USA Nationals happens because of groups of IPMS/USA members who Volunteer their time and energy to bring a world-class scale modeling convention to a different part of the United States every single year. 4/5

IPMS/USA is a non-profit run by Volunteers, with just a small amount of administrative cost, mainly for keeping our website, our membership database, insurance, and legal obligations met. 3/5

IPMS/USA Membership allows you to pre-register for the annual Nationals, which then gets you a special Convention Journal, a pin, unique decals, some industry swag, and the full range of seminars, tours, and entry into the Contest at Nationals. 2/5

IPMS/USA membership is $30 a year. It's these membership fees that go to help publish a fantastic Journal six times a year (if you haven't seen one lately, you are missing out!), fund Nationals, provide support and insurance for local and regional IPMS/USA chapters and shows. 1/5

Coming to Nationals? Get your name in lights! Sponsor a Contest Category or put an advertisement in the Convention Journal. Our Nationals is unique as it is a fully Volunteer run event, and your sponsorship help makes it happen! myipmsusa.org/store

Oniraizer, a custom 3D printed kit, graces the cover of the most recent Journal. Scale modeling is expanding with new techniques - if you can dream it, you can make it! Joining IPMS/USA can help you connect to people and resources with shared interests! myipmsusa.org/join-us

Some of the coolest things to build are represented in this year's National Convention Special Award Categories: ipmsnationals.org/2026-special-c… Star Trek, Gundam, Aircraft Carriers, and so much more. See what sparks your imagination!

Coming to Nationals? Registration is now open for all IPMS/USA members. Pre-registration is $55 and closes June 30. Sign up for a workshop, tour, or grab the extra swag you desire. ipmsnationals.org/convention-reg…

Behind every great achievement is a dreamer of great dreams. If you are an IPMS/USA member with a child or grandchild who is a dreamer, the 2026 Ralph Forehand IPMS/USA Scholarship program is now open for applications! ipmsusa.org/news/applicati…

“What do you build?” is the fastest way to start a lengthy conversation with a fellow modeler. Finding fellow enthusiasts of specific topics can bring greater learning. Special Interest Groups are a great way to find your crew, or a way to start your own! ipmsusa.org/sigs

We have heard that it might be seriously cold out there this weekend! We hope that you stay inside, safe and warm, and maybe work on a model! If you are seeking inspiration - check out our Reviews site (reviews.ipmsusa.org) for ideas!

200 Days! That's the count until the 2026 IPMS/USA National Convention in Fort Wayne, Indiana! Are you ready? For more information, make sure you are checking the Nationals website often: ipmsnationals.org

Wishing everyone a Happy New Modeling Year! Here's to a year where all the parts fit together, the instructions make sense, and your glue sets when and where you want it to. Visit the IPMS/USA website to find events and chapters near you! ipmsusa.org
